Private Cello and Music Theory Lessons for All Ages and Levels

Private cello lessons for anyone interested in learning cello from the start or developing further and gaining new motivation. I focus on developing solid technique in a natural and healthy way, combined with musicality and enjoyment. Lessons may include note reading and playing together, but also playing by ear and improvisation for those interested. Repertoire is always tailored to the student’s goals, from classical and folk to jazz and popular music.

My goal as a teacher is to nurture and deepen each student’s love for music, while providing the skills and guidance needed to keep them motivated and challenged.

My goal as a teacher is to keep and increase the students love for music as well as offer necessary and appropriate skills to keep the student challenged.

Piano lessons with classical pianist and experienced teacher
In my teaching I emphasize the importance of founding a correct and accurate playing technique early on. This allows the students to enjoy an effective and high quality learning process as well as avoiding physical pains and injuries from playing. Furthermore, I encourage all my students to get in contact and work with different types of classical repertoire and other musical genres in their instrumental studies.

I offer piano and music theory lessons for students of all ages and skill levels. My lessons are designed not only to refine technique but also to bring out each student’s creativity and deepen their connection to music. Many of my students have achieved highest results on ABRSM exams (distinctions), and won scholarships and awards in competitions. With over 12 years of teaching experience and a strong background in classical piano performance, I provide a tailored approach that meets students whichever level they are—whether they are just starting out or already at an advanced level! The lessons take place in central Oslo, just a 5-minute walk from Oslo Central Station, on a beautiful Essex grand piano made by Steinway & Sons, which provides an inspiring sound and playing experience. There is an optional student concert every year for those who wish to showcase their progress.

Cello, music composition, theory, improvisation, any music question
Do you want to discover the cello? Improve yourself? Play the songs you like to hear? All ages, levels and musical styles are welcome. My personalized teaching method is to study the profile and the difficulties of each student, in order to be able to offer him a learning method that corresponds to him. I offer individualized classes, with different methods depending on the objective of each student. Learning an instrument is not only a skill, but a lifetime enjoyment. The need to express emotions or let loose some inner tension, an instrument is the perfect tool. Music sings the sound of the soul, and the cello is the perfect instrument. Having played the cello for 17 years, i can say that music is a must for a happy life. It is the universal language. Dont be afraid to take that first step. I will be very happy if I can help you, and show you how fun and easy can be playing cello! I am enthusiastic, creative, open to new challenges. I am versatile - I have performed a large repertoire of diverse cello music. I collaborate in chamber ensembles, in orchestras, also have been playing in orchestra in Germany, Lithuania, Czech Republic, in Malta, In Poland, I have also been playing solo with orchestra. I accepted an invitation to become a cello teacher and it was helpful as I became more critical of myself and I was looking for new techniques and methods. I have been composing since the age of 8, I write compositions in the chamber music genre, including for cello solo, cello and piano, piano and oboe and string quartet. Music is my language and my way to express myself, I feel every note deep in my heart and it is reflected in the timbre of the cello.

Voice Lessons for Young/Inexperienced Singers - Classically Focused
These lessons are for young and/or inexperienced singers. My lesson plans are tailored towards students' individual goals. For some, this may be learning and embodying an audition song for their school's upcoming theater performance, and for others voice lessons are a first step towards singing healthily in their church choir. In any case, I focus on correcting and building core skills necessary to singing one's best while encouraging and fostering creativity, accountability, and motivation. If considered for a long-term journey towards singing, I will focus particularly on classical techniques to build steady breath control, good posture, and proper vowel and consonant formation. Along with providing repertoire, if the student is ready and wants, there will be opportunities for vocal performance in the Santa Cruz area. I will encourage audio recordings in all lessons to help with future preparations. I will be assigning some homework after every lesson, likely a combination of vocalization exercises, dedicated sheet music practice, and theory homework (if needed). *My first lesson will involve getting to know the student, their goals, and some vocalization to assess vocal level. For singers with minimal/no prior foundational music theory knowledge, I may recommend time from lessons (15-30 minutes) being allocated solely towards foundational music theory learning.

Oud and oriental Arabic singing lessons with an experienced teacher
Experienced teacher of Oud and oriental Arabic singing for over 11 years, I am Lebanese and currently residing in Germany. I studied for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. I taught at the Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and gave private lessons. In addition, I was conductor of the Loubnan Assalam oriental orchestra for over 5 years. My recommendation for learning the Oud is to start with the study of notes and musical notation before tackling pieces. Although some students prefer to play songs directly, understanding the basics of musical notation allows for faster progress in the long run. With determination and hard work, significant progress can be made in a year, allowing one to play simple melodies. Please feel free to leave me a message, I will reply as soon as possible.

Piano lessons for all levels and ages
A conservatory graduate and music theory teacher gives piano lessons. All styles combined (classical, rock, accompaniment piano, etc.) Method suitable for the little ones 4-5 years old First course without obligation.

Professional jazz musician teaching jazz, blues, funk, R&B, pop, rock, latin and classical piano.
I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard. My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student. Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you. A bit about me: Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.
